A Kushite is someone descended from Ham, one of the sons of Noah. Kush was the
grandson of [[Noah]]. The word is sometimes associated with the peoples in the [[Horn of Africa]]. Kush, however, is an ancient country in the middle Nile Valley. [[Pharao]] [[Thutmosis]] I is known to have waged war against it around 1525 b.C.<ref>Steindorff, G., K. Seele. When Egypt Ruled the East, Chicago, 1942 </ref>.
The [[prophet]] [[Moses]] was married to a Kushite wife:
Numbers (Am. St.) 12:1 tells us: ''Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married (for he had married an [[Ethiopian]] woman).''
''Ethiopian'' need not be related to the region of modern Ethiopia. The Greek historian [[Herodotus]] (who lived in the 5th century b.C.) used the word for the peoples immediately South of ancient Egypt <ref> Herodotus: ''Histories'', Volume 2, 29). </ref>
